As a resident of Ontario and a supporter of environmental protection, I am extremely concerned about the negative effect that bill 66 will have on our province.

Your government seems to portray that we need to choose employers (business) over workers (people). That is incorrect. Businesses need people to exist whether it is to work for them to supply their products or be a consumer of their products. Families need workplaces that are fair.

Protecting our lakes and waterways, access to safe drinking water and adequate farmland to feed our province is not unnecessary red tape. It is responsible government. Ontario doesn't need more businesses that want to destroy the environment in order to put money in their pocket.

Very much against this bill.
The breakneck page of growth in Ontario is good for economy but needs to be better managed in a way that doesn't just clearcut our natural environment.

I am horrified at the dangerous implications of this narrow focus on profit. Our heritage must be preserved through careful evaluation of potential archeological findings in building sites. I am also opposed due to serious concerns for the risks posed to our water and green zones.

Dear Mr. Helfinger,
Please consider this email as part of the government consultations on Bill 66. I’m writing to voice my strong opposition to this legislation, which would roll back decades of environmental protections in Ontario.

The Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act and municipal official plans and zoning regulations are not red tape. They exist so that essential farmland and the greenbelt are not lost forever. Do not relax the restrictions on our rural and greenbelt areas.

This bill is horrendous. It will set the progress of our province, country, and planet back by dozens of years and make irrevocable changes to our environment. A strong vote of NO.
I do not support the Repeal the Toxics Reduction Act, 2009 by 2021. Do not remove the toxics reduction plan in 2019 . I believe owners of companies have obligations to protect the communities in which their business operates. It is irresponsible to remove protections from toxic chemicals.

“Remove Schedule 10 from Bill 66, which allows municipalities to override provisions in the Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act, Lake Simcoe Act, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act and Great Lakes Protection Act.

I am writing to you to ask that you keep your promise to protect the Greenbelt and therefore call back legislature and introduce a new Bill 66 that stops the attacks on the Greenbelt, Oak Ridges Moraine, Lake Simcoe, Source Water Protection Areas and other important protected farm and natural areas

I do not support this bill. If it gets passed I will be more than disappointing in our government and the system that we have been using in recent years.
Bill 66 is a disaster waiting to happen and will inevitably result in a tragedy like the water contamination in Walkerton. I strongly oppose the passing of Bill 66 because of the impact it will have on our water, air and soil.

I see no reason for the proposed legislation as the Province currently has sufficient powers under a Ministers Zoning Order to do just this. This is the PC's idea that the planning system fails in Ontario when it doesn't.

I am strongly opposed to the idea of permitting Municipalities to fast track development of businesses and avoid process that involve public consultation and assessments such as Environmental assessments. Good decision making and consultation takes time.
